They're dumbasses for hyping A&M.
If these are the same people that keep saying Texas is back, then yes, they are dumbasses.

A&M is going to be VERY good by the end of the year.
Yea, after you lose 3 or 4 games.

This is their year. They can’t lose. This is their shot to win it all. We are all anxiously waiting.

I'm not making any predictions here, but this MIGHT have something to do with the hype. Maybe?
ESPN: College Football's Top 100 Players
13. Isaiah Spiller
RB, Texas A&M
Junior
Last year's ranking: NR
The junior from Texas quietly emerged as one of the best running backs in the country last season, finishing third in the SEC with 103.60 yards per game. He had 1,036 total rushing yards on 188 carries, and he added another 193 yards on 20 catches. Paired with the speedy Devon Achane, the Aggies could boast the best one-two punch at running back in the conference.
15. DeMarvin Leal
DE, Texas A&M
Junior
Last year's ranking: NR
At 6-4 and 290 pounds, there might not be a more dynamic defensive lineman in the SEC than Leal, who led Texas A&M with eight hurries as a sophomore last season. Aggies defensive coordinator Mike Elko called him a "unique talent" and someone who "can be a mismatch guy, whether it's an inside or an outside guy."
17. Kenyon Green
OG, Texas A&M
Junior
Last year's ranking: NR
Offensive linemen often get overlooked, and Green is no different. A former SEC All-Freshman selection, he was part of one of the best lines in the country last season and was named an All-American. Heading into his junior season, the 6-4, 325-pound Texas native should be a household name.
42. Jalen Wydermyer
TE, Texas A&M
Junior
Last year's ranking: NR
A powerful run-blocker, Wydermyer is equally effective as a receiver and has the physical ability and hands to go up and make tough contested catches. And with his 6-5, 255-pound frame, he's never easy to bring down. Wydermyer heads into his junior season having caught six touchdown passes in each of his first two seasons.
94. Ainias Smith
RB/WR, Texas A&M
Sophomore
Last year's ranking: NR
Aggies coach Jimbo Fisher calls Smith his Swiss Army knife and one of the best players he has been around, and given Smith's versatility in his first two seasons, it's easy to see why. Last season, after moving to running back, Smith caught 43 passes for 564 yards with six touchdowns and ran 49 times for 293 yards with four scores. He also has returned punts and kickoffs. He'll line up at slot receiver and in the backfield in 2021, and Fisher figures to find myriad ways to get him the ball.
Of course, I could be wrong, and so could ESPN's staff.***
***Methodology: A team of more than 20 voters was presented with a series of one-on-one votes. For example, "Who will be better in 2021: Sam Howell or Kedon Slovis?" More than 13,000 votes later, these were the results.

A&M has a good team this year. They will beat everyone on their schedule except for Alabama and LSU if they are good (hard to say where LSU is until play starts)
So 11-1 or 10-2. I don’t blame people for giving them some love

The scary thing is that A&M may be even better next year ... We will be young but talented at OL and QB. Like I said, by the end of the year we will be really good. And the schedule is backloaded with the exception of Bama
Posted on 8/25/21 at 8:23 pm to ColoradoAg
Nah they are a four loss team. they will be starting a new qb by week 3. book it

Nothing like living in the past. Still stuck in 2019? I would catch you up on what’s happened since, but it’s all a shite show, so nah.

Forgive me. Maybe I’m ignorant to it, but why all the hype? Mond is gone and they don’t have an experienced QB and we all know how that goes. That being said what am I missing?
Hang around and you’ll see.

No delusional like thinking that, “ we’re the second, third, fourth, fifth best team in college football and in reality we haven’t won a national championship since 1939”

A&M is going to absolutely run over some people this year

I remember all summer and even during the season last year how everyone trashed on Mond for being arse and now all of a sudden it’s a baseball bat to the knees cause he’s gone

It is true that not a single Aggie has said that because thousands of Aggies have said it.
